Hoveround-MPV5ManualRevM 1/17/14 10:36 AM Page 8 General Warnings Before You Use Your MPV5 Before You Use Your MPV5 The Hoveround® MPV5 is a battery-operated motor vehicle. The operation of the power wheelchair requires you to exercise caution and consideration for your personal safety and the safety of others around you. Never modify your wheelchair, and do not use accessories other than those developed for use specifically with your Hoveround® MPV5 power wheelchair. Information about the design of ramps appropriate for wheelchair access for your home are contained in guidance from the Americans with Disabilities Act, which can be located at http://www.accessboard.gov/adaag/html/adaag.htm. The lists below detail some important safety warnings. Please read this entire manual thoroughly, and follow all warnings and instructions to avoid serious injury or death. Call toll free 1-800-96-HOVER (1-800-964-6837) if you require further assistance. Your "Safety and Training video" illustrates many of the concepts in the manual. Keep your manual to refer to when needed. To avoid serious injury or death: 1. Always use the seat belt. 2. Always ensure that the power is OFF before getting into and out of the seat. 3. Always set the joystick/controller speed/response control to be consistent with the surrounding environment. In confined spaces and while learning to drive your power wheelchair, we recommend that the speed/response control be set to minimum. 8 General Warnings D82008753M 10/13
